Kidpower Starting Strong Workshop for ages 3-5 with their adults in Berkeley, CA

“I am so thankful to now have the tools to teach my young child about safety issues. It is amazing how with a little practice, we both have gained so many skills.”

Through puppets and fun, interactive stories, learn how to introduce People Safety Skills and to continue to practice them in your daily life. Help your child learn how to handle a friend saying something mean, check first before touching something unsafe, move away from someone doing something that could be hurtful, and get help from you effectively, even when you are busy.

With storytelling, puppets, and interactive role-plays, children ages 3-5 and their adults will be introduced to age-appropriate ways young people can:

Check first with adults if anything seems unsafe

Stop unwanted touch

Be safe with hurtful words

Set strong boundaries

Use voice as a safety tool

Get help from busy adults

Move out of reach of possible problems

Say “No” or “Stop” clearly and respectfully
